Dot org. In today's local news some neighbors in the.
Area were disturbed Thursday to see two dead coyotes hanging over the center's
wooden sign by the road ahead of. Those sledgehammers some other half and the
other was half skint. So that. She had
a Maziar. Head of the woman said Mr semester long academic program located at this
year Friends center visitors said she hadn't seen the carcasses or self because the
maintenance director of the school or moved them and put them out towards the end
of the property for vultures it is pretty disturbing I hope it was the work of
someone drunk or out of their mind I find it hard to understand why anybody would
do it we've never had problems with coyotes in the area we've never had anything
like this happen before. The Nevada County sheriff's office made
a log entry of the event xor patrol for the area at night and Sergeant Daniel
Saunders of the Nevada County Sheriff's Office I encourage the neighbors especially
those who go to work early to give us
a call if they see anything unusual. At this point the police have stalled the
investigation because there are no leads. Right now we are not considering this
a hate crime as there is nothing to support it now whether graffiti or anything
that would lead us to believe that. I don't know why anyone would target to school
Saunders added. He's never encountered a similar incident before
a spokesman for the California Department of Fish and Game agreed we haven't had
incidents where animals have been left displayed in
a grisly manner in my recent history said spokesman Harry Moore's.
Too bad some people just. Another story
repeat go lives among the boulder fields not ice year where the growing season is
too short and too cold for trees to survive also known as Rock rabbit the demented
relative of rabbits in Harrods as well adapted to the Alpine life it has short heat
conserving ears it round heat conserving body and sick keep conserving fur. As
a bunny. Critter is becoming endangered. I never even heard of them before
especially and I've not been habitat. Of the Great Basin region between the Sierra
Nevada and the Rockies as high altitude climates grow warmer. Wildlife biologist
Eric beaver of the University of Colorado has counted take
a population for years I joined him recently on the census of
a mountain in south central Nevada where peak is had been
a non But now they are gone this mountain's population has gone extinct Beaver
concluded but even as he remains objective about his study Beaver finds
a progressive out of Great Basin pike or peak population unsettling to pick
his troubles stem from its unusual lack of mechanisms to cool its body in the way
the heat the warm weather affects animals ability to digest food chemistry slows
down its cold we were Frederick food to slow the growth of bacteria he pushes bio
chemistry faster to the point most of the work of digesting food is done by water
water molecules work like
a crowbar slipping between two boards to pry them apart insinuating themselves
between the atoms of the food partly molecules and breaking the molecules apart if
we have to depend on water alone though it would take months even years to digest
a meal within our stomachs are
a tiny machines enzymes that grab food molecules bend them and open gaps to ease
water entry and zombies make bio chemical reactions go millions and billions even
trillions of times faster we can eat our lunch yet hunger for us just
a few hours later besides digesting food enzymes build up and break down the
molecules of which our bodies are made these molecules are different shapes
determined by all their atoms link up. And enzyme must have
a grappling region or just the right shape to latch onto its target molecule. Makes
molecules vibrate die. They are the faster they vibrate and the harder they hammer
each other then they collide egg white offers an example of how he works on enzymes
egg white is made of long stringy protein molecules build up like balls of beyond
dissolved in water. These yard balls of protein all together because of protein
strings are electromagnetically sticky. When we heat the protein
molecules vibrate and collide hard enough to make the yarn unravel the string
molecules still sticky bind to each other. But we have.
What had been a solution in tiny Spears becomes
a single large mass of solid protein he are boiled
a hard boiled egg will never have to kick his proteins or bent out of shape
scientists call it denatured he similarly Benson's imes out of shape in like
a hard boiled egg denatured enzymes cannot support life heat operates on the
enzymes of living beings to all organisms have an upper temperature limit beyond
which there in time stopped working as warmer temperatures affect plants and
animals around the world creatures that can no longer tolerate the heat are
shifting their ranges and are moving north and. So maybe all the pickers are going
to Canada unable to swell like a primate unable to pant like
a dog unable to draw cool an ear into his throat like
a bird to peek at his joint upward migration but pinkos already living in the upper
most ridges of their mom's cannot move higher in the High Sierra and the Rockies
because can move down one peak to migrate up another. Point between peaks the
animals expose themselves to hawks and other predators the migration is dangerous
but not impossible. But between the Sierras and the Rockies the mountains of the
Great Basin are sky island surrounded by an ocean of. Uncrossable desert peak is in
the High Sierra can continue to survive the Great Basin pikas are trapped. Safe
story. Hope they survive. In our entertainment the band mollies

satellite imagery and computer forecast models are now indicating
a fairly strong but fast moving cold front will push across Lake Tahoe area this
afternoon and evening south to southwest winds are expected to increase throughout
the day to twenty to thirty mile per hour and gusts of forty five miles per hour
and when prone areas by afternoon southwest winds up to eighty miles per hour
forecast long as they are crest today and tonight daytime temperatures will cool
into the mid and upper fifty's this afternoon the head of the approaching cold
front was further coolants into the upper forty's and lower fifty's on Saturday
with northerly winds ten to twenty mph and post air mass look for rain and snow
great is now great to develop along to see this afternoon becoming most intense is
even
a cold front snow levels are expected to start at around seven thousand feet. This
afternoon and lower levels of around six thousand feet by evening snow is forecast
to taper off through flurries after midnight with clearings and Saturday models are
indicating around point fifteen to precipitate
a whole basin up to point forty inch in the high elevation by early Saturday
morning. Would translate around and inch of snow most of the grassy areas like
level and two to four inches of mountain passes or above seven thousand feet much
of this knowledge should melt as it hits the relatively warm pavement our
visibility could be restricted during the more intense snow fall Friday evening if
you're planning to travel Friday evenings chipped away just road conditions before
departing. Since this is Saturday and I guess we should have done that temperatures
are forecast to warm back into mid sixty's around late Sunday afternoon late
southwest winds will pick up fifteen to twenty seems like. This weather
is one of our longer reports about weather so that's enough weather for now look
it's know it's coldest wet what else you want to know. Beyond Monday's the jet
stream and storm track stays around Pacific Northwest bringing in heavy rain to
Washington but dry and mild conditions across the area for the remainder of the
week some of the longer range computer models are suggestion another low price your
trouble developing over the western U.S.
Towards next week which would not be out of character of our current unsettling
fall weather pattern so much for the last of our summer.

out of Washington Republican John Doolittle indicated Thursday he planned to fight
a Justice Department subpoena for eleven years of records as part of Jack bribery
investigation set up
a lengthy court fight over congressional independence Republican William Jefferson
no Democrat had been locked in a similar dispute over the F.B.I.
Raid on his Capitol Hill office last year
a federal appeals court declared parts of that search unconstitutional by ruling
from the Justice Department is challenging Prosecutors recently demanded documents
from doing five staffers
a congressman saying the subpoena see virtually every record including legislative
record for the past eleven years to levels attorney gave
a larger said in any one of people related to Sonny Barger said in
a news release issued Thursday by the congressman's office these efforts raise
serious constitutional issues to the very core of our separation of power created
by the Founding Fathers we should protect ourselves the Constitution prohibits the
executive branch from using its law enforcement power to interfere with legislative
. Action and against I mean business Barger said he and do it would be vigilant to
ensure Congress independence is vigorously protected just like Bush. Any court
challenge would go before
a federal judge but to document would be sealed prosecutors are investigating
connections between Doolittle a neighbor mots
a convicted lobbyist they've been off influence peddling investigation already has
netted a dozen convictions including
a guilty plea from one Congressman Bob Ney Republican from Ohio who resigned amid
the probe the rest of the Congress would be well served to pay attention to the
message the executive branch seems to be sending about. Whether the three branches
are truly co-equal. Earlier this month to Congress you were called before
a federal grand jury is part of the do little investigation. The staffers who have
been subpoenaed have assured they are mentally witnesses not targets of the
investigation too little said. In a Jefferson's case the U.S.
Court of Appeals the District of Columbia Circuit held the F.B.I.
Agents trampled on
a congressional independence during the raid even though they took only documents
relevant to their bribery investigation and
a big pot of money agents also reviewed legislative documents which were.
Unconstitutional that ruling has already caused impeded ongoing investigations
Justice Department attorneys syndicated court documents recently some members of
Congress interpret the rulings as prohibiting F.B.I.
Agents from interviewing congressional staffers attorneys wrote co-operatively
legislative aides have played key roles in prosecution of public officials in the
Jack Abramoff lobbying scandal. Clue to so right away.
Probably. And out of Washington the best basic job of Congress is pass bills that
pay the costs of running the government after criticizing Republicans for falling
down on the job last year Democrats are now the one stumbling the government's new
budget year begins Monday but Congress has not completed even one of the dozen
spending bill appropriating money for the day to day operations of the fifteen
Cabinet departments President Bush's lobby details right after
a veto threat after days of Democratic spending bills because they taken as
a whole they would break his budget by twenty three billion or more. Though Bush is
sagging in the polls so those threats have majority Democrats tied in knots Bush
charted Saturday in his signing a bill that prevents
a government shutdown and gives lawmakers forty eight days more more days to. The
budget work earlier this year congressional leaders promised to show that they
could be responsible with the people's money unfortunately they seem to have chosen
the pass of higher spending the president said in his weekly radio address this is
hardly the first time the Congress has fallen behind schedule last year when
Republicans ran the Congress they gave up on the budget altogether and forced
Democrats to finish it on Valentine's Day in February four and
a half months later now it is Democrats after roasting Republicans for the way the
budget work who are vulnerable vulnerable to criticism that they are now doing no
better it's true Republicans are happy to oblige it's deja vu all over again said
Republican Jerry Lewis Republican of California representative who
a year ago was chairman of the House Appropriations Committee he courted the
current chairman Republican Representative David Obey Dan
a Democrat from Wisconsin is blasting Republicans in the past for failing to meet
the most basic minimal expectations that the country has for it by way of doing our
routine business like last year most Democrats appropriations feelings can be
blamed on the Senate which has passed just four to twelve spending bills Senator
Majority Leader Harry Reid Democrat from Nevada has devoted lots of debate time to
Iraq immigration and defense policy bill at the expense of the nuts and bolts work
I'm passing spending bills Lewis said the failure of the appropriations process can
be laid squarely on the feet of the president Senate Majority Leader. The Senate's
top Republican Mitch McConnell of Kentucky since spending bills are our first
response of the last time it was so obvious. He
added We've had plenty of votes on other things nearly thirty votes in Iraq we
should be making room for other things Reid said Friday he hopes to complete two
more bills this coming week before the Senate takes
a vacation. You know like they need one he blamed Bush in G.O.P.
Opposition non-related bills for the delay as you know there's controversy with the
president over his threat to veto all the bills we know we should have gotten them
sooner but we've had forty eight filibusters we've had to deal with this year we
drive slowed things down significantly long has been
a symbol of Bush administration and Democrats would find themselves in
a legislative train wreck. That would not get resolved until late in the fall even
in years when one party runs Capitol Hill in
a White House Congress invariably needs extra time to complete its budget work but
Democrats raised the expectation in last year's campaign that they would be doing
a better job running Congress and Republicans have. Tickets for the panda. The
four bills that have passed the Senate are in House Senate talks including the
homeland security measure and veterans the White House has backed off
a veto on the veterans' bill and Democrats are confident to take it when an
overriding vote on the homeland security measure if it contains three billion
dollars sought by Republicans for a fence along the U.S.
America border to date you can start building Republicans believe they can stick
with Bush to sustain vetoes on the remaining bills Democrats see little points to
any bill after bill doomed to get in
a fight in the White House relishes has absorbed much criticism from conservative
voters for failing to veto
a single spending bill in his first six years in office and I guess he's going to
catch up now. Many Republicans want
a series of vetoes that would allow the party to reclaim its reputation as
a party of smaller government. Just as President Clinton won many of his battles
with Republicans over the budget Bush has great leverage so long as the G.O.P.
Lawmakers stand with him that is the biggest reason Democrats would prefer to
negotiate the president needs to put down his veto pen and pick up the telephone
said House Majority Leader. Stephanie. Our differences
are relatively minor we need to work out the differences rather than engage in
political posturing Democrats have some leverage too they are holding back action
of Bush's one hundred eighty nine billion war request you can delay also. Delay the
Pentagon's non-war budget bill until the White House agrees to talk on domestic
spending both sides see the Pentagon spending bill with forty billion increase for
the military as the engine that will power legislative in comparison to all of the
uncompleted bills into law maybe by Christmas. Maybe Christmas two thousand and
thirty. One way Washington very young children simply should not
take some commonly used cold and cough medicines federal health officials say it's
recommending to consult your physician advice to parents on the labels be drawn to
preliminary recommendation from Food and Drug Administration safety officials would
apply to decongestants used in children under two and
a history means in those younger than six according to the agency's documents
released Friday the more than three hundred fifty page documents are part of
a broad and ongoing F.D.A.
Examination of whether the roughly eight hundred medicines many popular and widely
used are safe and effective in treating children's colds and cost F.D.A.
Advise are to take up the advisors are to take up the issue during an October
eighteenth nineteenth meeting the F.D.A.
Has not made a final decision on any label changes action is likely pending
a recommendation from outside experts. The review came in response to
a recently filed petition in Baltimore city officials who charge that many over the
counter cough and cold remedies can harm toddlers and preschoolers those officials
joined with the American Academy of Pediatrics cite evidence is just drugs are not
only risky but also don't work for the very young the basic question is Why should
a product be so wrong. Mostly marketed when it's not safe or effective said Dr
Joshua Sharfstein Baltimore's health commissioner does not make sense in the
absence of information to say consult
a physician because they do not have superhuman powers they cannot make
a product safe or effective. The Consumer Health Care Products Association which
represents makers of over the counties over the counter medicines backs the
recommendation that the cold and cough treatments not be used in children younger
than two years old separately for any histamines the group recommends adding
a war unit to drug not be used to sedate young children. And F.D.A.
Review of side effects workers filed with the Agency between one hundred sixty nine
is the Kember two thousand and six found fifty four reports of deaths in children
associated with decongest medicines made was side of. The
dream and fell for in an episode during It also found sixty nine reports
of deaths associated with ten histamine medicines containing diaper hide your main
. Mine and chloral of Femara many. Most of the deaths
are children younger than two so watch out thanks for watching and we'll talk to
you tomorrow.
